Fall is one of the best seasons for wildlife photography. Temperatures are still high enough for butterflies to enjoy flower's nectar, reptiles are active, while there is still birds migrating. An ideal time for wildlife photography.

We decided to take a short walk around Kesariani Aesthetic forest, in Mt Hymettus. The area around the Monastery of Kesariani is a wonderful maze of paths, with various types of vegetation. Especially Terebinth trees and Fig Trees attract lots of fall migrants, that are looking for food in their foliage.

Eurasian Jay is typically a rather cryptic species
We saw lots of Spotted Flycathers and a few female Redstarts, along with residents Blackcaps. The first loud calls of arriving Robins, is the typical sound of winter that is coming.
